Introduction to the digital evolution platform Avida - talk by Christoph Adami:
Avida: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avida #ALife
Avida is an artificial life software platform to study the evolutionary biology of self-replicating and evolving computer programs (digital organisms). Avida is under active development by Charles Ofria's Digital Evolution Lab at Michigan State University; the first version of Avida was designed in 1993 by Ofria, Chris Adami and C. Titus Brown at Caltech, and has been fully reengineered by Ofria on multiple occasions since then. The software was originally inspired by the Tierra system.

MIC 2018 - Kenneth Stanley's Closing Keynote. #ALife #ML
"We are going to automate all things, so you don't need to know as much - thats the standard narrative and nice. But there are other, more intriguing narratives: Let's harness the fact that we are all machine learning researchers, and just don't know it." - @kenneth0stanley
"Imagine if you could generate every possible robot morphology and walking gates, all at once - in a single run of an algorithm - more than you would ever want to see. Just design everything for me, all at once. Design every genre of music - the longer i run, the more genres i get. Just think about what you could do with algorithms like this. It would be fascinating and very useful.
We sometimes call them repertoire collecting algorithms: They are not trying to solve something, they are collecting repertoire of capabilities that eventually you can use for all kinds of things. Openendedness is front and center for me."

Living Computation - by Dave Ackley: https://livingcomputation.com/lc/d/ae/machine.html
"Once a universal machine can and does acquire new programming on the fly from its environment, it loses the rigidity, predictability, and context-independence that is much of what we had taken as defining a machine. Why do we still call it a machine? Shouldn’t we call it something else?" - Dave Ackley
